I now get a "banned" message on sgtools:
You were caught trying to cheat the system or entering a sgtools protected giveaway without permission.
I'm 100% sure I did no such thing. Is this an automatically triggered thing or a manual ban? I would like to know what triggered this. I only used sgtools for puzzle giveaways, and I solved all of them by myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a manual ban, nothing automated here.
It has to do with misuse of giveaway feedback to pass some sgtools filters. In short, marking as not received giveaways that otherwise would make you not pass the rules.
If you think this is a mistake, you can add me and I'll show you some data to discuss it.

There seems to be some inconsistency between the "Number of url given" for this giveaway (75) and the Sgtools Entries list (23). Is this a known issue, and is there a way to see the full list of those who got the link?
I'm asking because this (long finished) giveaway is a gate for giving ungiftable keys, and recently some keys were taken by unthankful ninjas. I'd like to see if I can find some insight about potential "suspects" by going over the list and possibly fine tuning the filter (using a new giveaway).
Thanks!

SGTools was changed a few months ago so entries are no longer considered valid if they pass the check after the giveaway ends. That was why I stopped my whitelist recruitment using that method.
Comment has been collapsed.
As saniala already answered, it's because the giveaway ending time.
Is there a need for a raw list of everyone who passed it? It should be easy to add again.
Comment has been collapsed.
The raw list would really help for use cases such as the ones above (whitelist filtering; ungiftable keys giveaways), possibly others.

Got the banned message today and I'm sure my entries are 100% legit,added you on steam ,can you show me the data why I'm banned?thanks ;_;

Same case as IMCyBot, yesterday I was checking the anti-cheat logs and reviewing cases.
Comment has been collapsed.
So I just tried to enter a protected GA and SGtools says that I've been banned because I tried to enter a protected GA without permission. That never happened. Anyone has had this issue before? What should I do?
Thank you in advance to everyone of you and have a great day!
PS: I sometimes do go to a entered GA that's gonna be active for weeks and take my entry away if I need the points, re-entering later again... But it shouldn't be a problem because I have already go through the rules checking, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
You were not banned "without a cause".
Yesterday I checked last months anti-cheat data and caught what looks like 6 people using misuse of giveaway feedback to bypass sgtools protected giveaways. You can see that in this thread, but so far none was a mistake.
If you want to discuss it, feel free to add me.
Comment has been collapsed.
It says I have unactivated wins, which is not true. Even the tool itself agrees: http://www.sgtools.info/nonactivated/kevinsnow
It's been like this for days, I've tried resyncing with Steam like half a dozen times, what do I do? D:
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone decided to skip the filters here: c51add12-2888-11e6-8f87-04019cc0dc01
They also did that on two other giveaways, but those are still running so I won't link them. Will do that later if it's needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Looks like its detecting that I have unactivated wins even though I already activated them. Tried resyncing on both SG and on SGTools. I think it has to do with winning Typing Instructor for Kids Platinum 5, as it didn't appear in my Steam library after activating the game. It also shows the option to buy the game, but I own it.
Okay, I figured it out, and I believe that I won the Mac version of the software game. What do?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nothing I can do on SGTools part, you'll need steamgifts support help with this. So create a ticket and wait for them to handle it (they can change the giveaway to the proper one amount other options).

Bummer. Thanks for the advice, I have created a support ticket so hopefully everything gets resolved!

Hi, I made an error, I added a win game (steam gift) to my inventory instead of placing the library.
Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is PrivateI add game win in my library (after 2hours) and resync SG but nothing, do not pass the tests since sgtools , is there a solution?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi : )
Hopefully I'm at the right place here. I made my first GA with a SGtools entrance hurdle and I'm getting a red alert on the "Invalid giveaway entries" section. I only posted the link to the SGtools-check here on the forum, nobody got the direct link to the GA from me.
I'm really a bit puzzled, because the user would have gone through my basic filters, but that (s)he is showing up there, means, that somebody, who already got the link to the GA, gave it to him/her directly, right?
What can I do about this, now?
The GA has a few hours left and I don't mind if somebody else enters: Go! Go! Nippon! My First Trip to Japan
Comment has been collapsed.
The invalid entries are not visible for the regular users. You can post the SGTools giveaway link here for knsys to look at.
Comment has been collapsed.
Infraction applied, it looks like a serial rule breaker. Thanks for the report :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you : )
Can/should I report the user here on Steamgifts, too?
And I have an assumption which user gave the link to him, but of course, I can't prove this, so there's nothing to do about this, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no need to report it to steamgifts, since it's not a bannable offense here. They would grant rerolls if the guy in question happens to win the giveaway, but not ban them.

S/he has 4 multiple wins (private profile, can't check for not activated wins) and %75 of wins from private giveaways. I rather suspect many of them through bypassing SGTools checks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Infraction applied, but it's his/her first strike.
I don't think any of his/her wins are from SGTools protected giveaways, since support grants rerolls for people not using sgtools to get a valid entry.

Not sure if everyone checkes for invalid entries but oh well.
Thanks.

So I have a request for SGTools that obviously has some impact on the service, but I feel would make it even better.
My idea is when a user visits SGTools and takes a check to enter a GA, their result could then be cached on the server for each of the checks. When a GA creator is creating a rules check for a new GA, they can "test" their rules check to get an idea of approximately how many users should be able to pass their test. Obviously this won't be as useful for less commonly tested attributes (since there won't be as many cached values, so it might be misleading in those cases) and values will clearly fluctuate (perhaps deleting cached values that haven't been updated after a decent length of time would also be a good idea), but for commonly used attributes it could give GA creators a better idea of how much they are restricting their GA.
Sorry if this has been suggested before - 22 pages of comments is a lot to look through!
Comment has been collapsed.
Data used to compare with rules IS cached since the very beginning, and all the values are cached, not only the ones that applies to the concrete rules of a given giveaway (they are used on more places).
Problem with this, is that we have nearly 20.000 users, so testing the rules with all of them (or a large part of them) is not feasible since there are some rules like ratios that need some operations. Apart from that, custom rules are hard to evaluate massively.
Comment has been collapsed.
After all this time, all of a sudden sgtools is telling me that I've not activated all won gifts.
So I went and checked my own username on sgtools for non-activated gifts and it's only showing DLC, which I've activated but I guess sgtools can't really check those on my steam library or something, and Galactic Arms Race, which is no longer on steam's API, according to sgtools.
Any suggestions on what can I do to fix things? :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Try manually syncing your SGTools account. You can find the option for that on the top left dropdown menu next to the Home button.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're a life saver! I feel a bit embarrassed for never having noticed that option, but at least now I know it's there.
Thank you so much and welcome to my very humble whitelist :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome and thank you. What seems to be usually causing the problem is that SGTools happens to automatically sync at the same time when Steam is temporarily unavailable and I did notice the community side of Steam being down a lot for me yesterday.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont know if this have been pointed out but just in case it may be a bug.
You create a GA with 5 keys for the same game but you dont not get 5 entries to count for CV (Lets say you got 4 entries and send the keys, this GA will be shown in grey in SGTools). Then you create another GA for the same game and and the same amount of keys, this time you get more than 5 entries and it counts for CV. What I noticed here is that SGTools counts this last GA as a +5 copies (Orange color) and calculates CV taking away %10.
This is an insignificant "bug" but just wanted to let you know about it, Knsys. Hope this helps you and thanks for all your hard work ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I just tried to pass an SGTools check and got the message that I had unactivated wins (and I have activated them all!). After syncing and doing the manual SGTools check from the site, the problem is No Man's Sky (probably, because it's not yet released). Can you add it to the exception list?
Edit: Well, that's strange. I just looked at my public games list and it's doesn't appear there, but it shows in my Library from inside the Steam client. I can provide screenshots, if required.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a request: could it be possible to add a rule to prevent users who blacklisted me (as the giveaway creator) from entering? I've always felt that it's very unfair when someone enters a giveaway, when that person blacklisted the giver.
Comment has been collapsed.
SGT doesn't have access to see blacklisted/whitelisted users. Your request is impossible to implement.
Comment has been collapsed.
http://i.imgur.com/ZJ76KBZ.png I got this but I have activated all my wins.
I correctly synced it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is there any way to know which ones? I have 3 marked as "non recieved" because, well, they were either non recieved or different games/DLC.
There is a caveat: I started to manually remove games (that is, Support > Remove games from my library) that I won't ever play again because they're either crap or unusable. There might be one or two of those that I won and that aren't on my library anymore (it's been years) because I don't want to keep trash or abandoned or whatever game/app that it's completely deprecated/outdates.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! Yeah, it seems I manually removed them from my library. Still waiting for a reply.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't, they're permanently deleted from my library. I'd have to buy the games again (which I won't).
Comment has been collapsed.
AFAIK they're more like "hidden" not "deleted". In Steam client select Help > Steam Support > Games, Software and as your "issue" with the game choose 'it's not in my library'.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably you're not aware of this: http://i.imgur.com/C0AlJQe.png
Comment has been collapsed.
if you remove won games here, you will be tagged with unactivated wins.
it's not unfair, it's how sg works, it's how sgtools checks your profile.
btw, you just disable licenses for games you own, you can restore them later.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still waiting for a reply on this issue, I'm incorrectly left out of giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can still enter all the giveaways on steam-gifts just not the ones that are protected by SGT, a program that is not part of steam-gifts
Comment has been collapsed.
That's not a solution to my problem. The script is incorrectly marking me.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is not. Your wins aren't acivated on your account, so you are not eligible for many giveaways that use SGT as a protection. It is the wish of users, who protect their giveaways with SGT to prevent you from entering their giveaways.
And again: no one is stopping you from entering all the other giveaways on this site.
And to clarify, SGT is not generally preventing you from entering SGT giveaways either. It just checks certain parameters. The specifications that the giveaway-creator utilises for their giveaways often include that they only let people pass that have all their wins activated. If users don't have this specification, you can even enter those SGT giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no issue, you don't have 2 won games activated on your account, so you are not passing the "all activated" rule.
Comment has been collapsed.
But I did activate them years ago. Is that so hard to understand? Probably you're not aware of this Steam functionality: http://i.imgur.com/C0AlJQe.png
This tool should provide a better checking IMHO, this is clearly a "false positive". I can get the users that I won those gifts from to come and post here for proof if you need it, but it shouldn't be needed in any case.

Just read again the post you are replying to, everything you need to know is there.

The deals section stopped showing many of the steam summer sale deals.

Deals section auto-updates after some hours, it may had a problem parsing the deals since steam is fucked up for steam sales as always.
It should be ok by now :)

Your way of answering the question straight forward amaze me.
Well done!
But it still doenst show many of steam sales.
It showed before but now theyre gone, and replaced by amazon deals...?? who buy at amazon?...
Actually there are no steam sales, or mostly not.
Probably the API got wrecked

I have a question regarding a somewhat frequently used rule for sgtools giveaways. The rule is about winning the same game multiple times. How does this apply to giveaways that you have won, but never received the game? For example, I won a game, but it the creator of the giveaway does not send it for some reason. I grumble in my head and mark the item as not received. Since I only enter games that I want to play, I enter another giveaway for the same game and happen to win again and actually receive the game. Would this flag the multiple wins for one game rule? This may sound stupid, but I've actually avoided entering other giveaways for the same game as I was not sure how sgtools handled this situation (and having read people grumbling about multiple wins for 1 game on the forums).
Comment has been collapsed.
Only marked as received are took into account to check for multiple wins, so if you have it marked as not received, there is no problem in winning it again :)

Have you tried to manually sync sgtools to Steam? (Upper right corner)
Comment has been collapsed.
Cache renews itself every 24 hours, so it's highly unlikely that you've been 3 days with that error. Unless you were really unlucky and every time that your cache was renewing steam was down.
Apart from that, you can manually synchronize your cache, so just do that.

Hi knsys, I hope I am doing this correctly:
7a69cc8a-3e63-11e6-8f87-04019cc0dc01
invalid entry in:
Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink
Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond
Giana Sisters: Dream Runners
Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan
Lichdom: Battlemage
Northmark: Hour of the Wolf
The Secret Order 2: Masked Intent
Vampire Legends: The True Story of Kisilova
I honestly don't know why either user bypassed because I don't see why they would not have qualified...

Applied infractions, thanks for the report!
Well they just don't care about if it's protected or not, someone leaks them the link and they just enter. Sometimes they are serving an infraction an they cannot get themselves the url (not the case on the ones who entered your GA's).

Only the one on the first wagon? Or there are more in other wagons?
I applied the infraction to the first one. Thanks for the report :)

O sorry Knsys I forgot to ad that I checked the standard invalid entries on the first car and every other remaining car.
There's one and the same user that has an invalid entry in the first car and in about 90 % of the individual cars.
170 cars/2.5 weeks and only 1 invalid entry, maybe just maybe they getting the point. ^^
